CHICAGO -- Twenty two people have been shot, three fatally, in Chicago gun violence over the weekend, police said.

A man was found shot to death Sunday morning in the South Loop on the Near South Side. The man, 44, was found in the street in the first-block of East 24th Street about 4:30 a.m. with two gunshot wounds to his lower extremities, Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He hasn't been identified yet.

Another man was fatally shot Sunday morning on the Near West Side. The 22-year-old was in the first-block of South Seeley Avenue about 2:50 a.m. when he was shot multiple times.

Two 16-year-old boys were shot during a robbery Sunday afternoon in Gage Park on the Southwest Side. The teen boys were on the sidewalk about 3:30 p.m. in the 5600-block of South Christiana Avenue when two suspects with guns got out of a vehicle and demanded their property.

A 15-year-old boy was critically wounded in a shooting Sunday evening in Englewood on the South Side. The teen boy was on the sidewalk about 6:05 p.m. in the 6700-block of South May Street when someone opened fire, police said. He was shot in the neck and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, police said.

A 17-year-old boy was struck by gunfire Saturday afternoon in Hyde Park on the South Side. The teen boy was on the sidewalk about 2:20 p.m. in the 5600-block of South Woodlawn Avenue when a dark vehicle pulled up and someone from inside fired shots, police said.

If someone were to exploit this and Televise it LIVE, I guarantee it would get Higher Ratings than the thugs and criminals playing football at the superbowl.

So many ask for this death and destruction. They know the cause, and yet, they refuse to vote for anything other than more.

Sickening.

22 shot, 3 fatally. These weekly stats always show a severe lack of competence and proficiency in the art...

“...they refuse to vote for anything other than more.”

Indeed. The minority communities are the ones suffering the most from this violence, but every election they vote “D” without fail (or thought). The few who vote “R” are ostracized and targeted by their community.

You just cannot fix stupid.

Piss on “minority communities”. You get what you vote for. Just stay out of my “community”, idiots.

Yeah, but Lightweight says the major problem in Chicago is large drinks with sugar in them.

Austin Texas has some bad areas with shootings every weekend. Around 6th street. So thankful we are a good hour drive from there!
